Apr-17-25 Maroczy vs Tarrasch, 1902    stanleys: < Maroczy came to New York (where he demolished a very young Capablanca in a 2-game match> I nave never read about this mini match. Do you have the gamescores, and/or an article relating about it? Thanks in advance      Feb-21-25 Patrice Lerch   stanleys: He got his IM title in 2014 - https://ratings.fide.com/profile/60...      Sep-16-24 I Balinov vs W Posch, 2001   stanleys: Very strong move by Balinov, 12.Bf4+! (think a novelty at that time), with the idea of 12...Nxf4 13.Ne4+ Kc7 14.Qa5+ Nb6 15.Qe5+ Kb7 16.Nc5x. Black is forced to give his queen; he gets in return 3 minor pieces, but White is dominating.      Aug-01-24 Krum Georgiev   stanleys: Rest in peace, Krum! Great player and a nice person, you'll never be forgotten! I really enjoyed the many beautiful attacking games of you - those against Kasparov, Miles, Tseshkovsky, Ionescu, Vachier-Lagrave and many, many others.      Jun-20-24 Albin vs Gunsberg, 1902    stanleys: <KEG> OK, excuse me for being a bit rude and I appreciate your efforts. These old tournaments in 19th and first half of the 20th century with opening theory not so developed and every player searching his own way are fascinating indeed. But I cannot agree that human moves ...      Jun-12-24 Vladimir Kramnik    stanleys: For those who didn't know him, he is showing his real face last months or year. And one shouldn't believe him - his goal is not fighting against cheating, or any specific player(s), but to discredit and at the end "to kill" if possible chess.com      Jun-04-24 D Marovic vs Petrosian, 1973   stanleys: A pic from this game - https://scontent.fsof10-1.fna.fbcdn...      May-19-24 F Bohatirchuk vs Menchik, 1935   stanleys: Incredible! Did Bohatirchuk really write this? He had the opening advantage, but it was just him who "began to confuse the issue", starting with 14.a4?!. The final position is totally equal, absolutely not "better position with great chances to win" If the women's world champion ...      May-03-24 Gavrikov vs E Ubilava, 1983   stanleys: What a wild and fascinating game! Gavrikov played some inspired tactical moves, but then followed some careless ones (23.Na5 24.e4?) and he was really walking on a tightrope and no doubt losing. But he displayed a remarkable sangfroid as well and got the full point at the end      Apr-06-24 E Sedina vs D Jeanjean, 2001   stanleys: Even an obvious move, in a simple position, could be a fatal mistake - white's paying the price for the lack of concentration.
